Los Lobos - Kiko and the Lavender Moon - 1996

[bobindot1]

I'm wishing the camera man or director could figure out who is playing

[alexmortland]

DEEP.

[jyppi33]

viva la raza desde Rep. dom.

[CityKidzWorldmag]

Miller Light and Pabst Blue ribbon and the hazy of blue smoke in a paneled basement in the 1970s with the mellow young uncle visiting, smelling like the fun world where cigarette smoke still has the warm, full woodsy smell, before it becomes stale and pungent. A glass in his hand. There is a den with a pipe bowl because Dad doesn't smoke; he only smokes a pipe. Now, it is 2011 and he is fat, dead, or pungent smelling - drunk, not cool.

[spookykat1]

OMG!! It's like they can read each others minds?! Classic!

[macguy4321]

I so want to do a Tango to this song.

[morriswil32]

These guys are trippin'!

[RkadeFingerboards]

Gotta love that telecaster sound

[fredmila]

The whole Kiko album was really very good, I still listen to it regularly, but I doubt it was successful anywhere as, by then, the La Bamba craze was wearing thin.

[andycaveclarens]

@fredmila i agree,,,,most awesome set of tunes and a real album, every song

[HelenaVanCity]

Awesome studio work! So f*cking neat!!!

[MaeseMordeckay]

que grandes

[cosmicrandyb]

kiko your so fine hey whats all that smoke in the room? hehe

[Kikrocuss]

I am Kiko :-)

[belairbooklover]

I remember watching them on Sesame Street, singing 'Elmo and the Lavender Moon'. Elmo danced around--and they were fantastic!

[kstrehlo]

Was this an alternate take from the album sessions? I'd love to know more about the source of the video.

[Jayjen35]

I've always wondered if this song was based on a story or legend of some kind. Kinda seems like it. One of my favorite songs. Thanks for the upload.

[SheliaCarlisle]

I love this....



[jimdollar1]

Thanks for the upload, man. Fabulous. What a fine and underrated band. They deserve to be mentioned with Cream, Hendrix, Led Zep-- all the blues-rock greats. And they make it THEIR OWN.

[wicek777]

Form today Im Polaco loco mexicano!

[rwwelch56]

[anitadavideduo]

[TJTele]

The Hispanic equivalent to The Band...

[roseline307]

@PAULI1951 Thank you very much

[roseline307]

AWESOME Does anybody knows if there's a CD/DVD of it ? I'd like to hear/see the whole performance. Was it only one song ? Thanks for sharing Pauli.

[MrKatunes]

muy buena cancion los lobos yeah

[MrKatunes]

muy buena cancion los lobos yeah

[sawmillslim]

Correction...not Kiko but "Elmo & The Lavedar Moon".

[sawmillslim]

About 15 years ago, my kids had Sesame Street on...I flipped when LL were the musical guests. Choreography....by Elmo, dancing to "Kiko And The Lavendar Moon".

[stingerbee5000]

Music isn't playing off of notes, its playing with your hearts and these guys are great.

[josie426]

thanks for the great upload PAUL1951. going to see los lobos next week!

[NingAnton]

Kiko's my daughter Antonia. Love this song. Love my child.

[lolalachata]

mmmmmm sensualidad total sonido cachondo!!!!

[clear4push]

I heard this at 35,000' in flight to SFO from EWR and you couldn't have picked a better song to fit the moment.

[mo9504]

very nice

[cbkspa]

Gracias me amigo... : )

[oLdSkOoLkisS]

I'm a fool for "dreamy" melodies!!

[MotorSickler]

Telecaster dude don't need no stinkin' wristwatch!He must be the boss.These gentlemen kick ass!

[MotorSickler]

Telecaster dude don't need no stinkin wrist-watch!

[fatabert77]

ME AND MY BROTHER SEEN THEM 13 YEARS AGO I MISS MY BROTHER EVERY TIME I HEAR THEM HIS AROUND

[JimAdsit]

I always say that their album KIKO was one of the best releases of the nineties, hands down!!!

[SkakidBoogie]

cesar and david signed my guitarrr

[alta33svp]

GREAT!!!

[theproffet]

This rocks my world . . .

[jemmus]

Where can we get an mp3 of this? : )

[haropan]

@jemmus mp3iffy.com

[drpedro98]

then he bends, then he shakes

[RevinFreddy]

Very nice! I seen these guys at the first Further Festival... And I swear this is the same basic theme song to 12 Monkeys...

[indigo4fox]

Pinche cancion bien sicodelica!!!!Bien tumbada la cancion,casi como andar en septimo cielo,cerquita de Dios ja ja ja!!!

[hebbe2008]

.. probabaly the best band in the world. Virtuousos on each instrument, star producers of others records, their joyful approach to new sounds makes them at least the most interesting band in the world! - 'Kiko'... one of my favorite albums of all time...:)

[prhiannon]

@hebbe2008

that's what I say!

[hanjomorren]

Damn, this is good music!!

[Hcosl]

Cesar Rosas and David Hidalgo

[FrederickDefraeye]

Great stuff, great atmosphere. I actually like the electric guitar replacing the accordion. Thank you for posting this!

[lilbelle153]

Pure magic. these guys are wonderful, thanks for sharing.

[ZJProz]

Oy Yeah.....Kiko and the Lavender Moon........

[StevanCardoso]

Bom demais!

[superxf95]

nice cesh but do i miss the acordian yes but still a nice cesh

[MrScottypimpin27]

most people don't understand who The Wolves are.....they've always been a great experimental / roots rock act. Much more that than the "La Bamba band" people think they are......they have a free download of a new song "Jupiter Or The Moon"....it's classic Los Lobos...atmospheric like this one!!

[telecaster24]

Greatest band of all time,chican or mexican dosen't matter...these guys are frigging great..stop seggragating..MUSIC brings us all together,, Fugging beautiful song...LET IT ROCK On.....

[livingstogigio]

Exellent Song, Exelente cancion...!!!!

[shroomgurl]

love this cd

[lumpytwangage]

This may well be the best version of this that I've ever heard. Some nice dissonance in the solos.

[tbaum517]

no words can express - thank you for putting this on here, do these guys gel or what? what a crazy talented group of guys, some jam session on the second half, unbelievable, what a sound, what a vibe, no one is putting out music like this

[dylanfanforsure]

These guys can really open it up and bend it around with style.

[SKAman635]

One of my favorites of all time

[MrUnclemuncle]

I remember seeing them perform this one on the letterman show, if I'm not mistaken. Been looking for it ever since-- it transports you to another space and time everytime you here it. You could say Universal!

[LadyattheWell7]

we have some great photos with our friends, Los Lobos, backstage; we sure miss them and love their music! "por eso te quiero tanto"..."volver, volver" to LA so we can see you again... besos!!

[titoratm]

one of the greatest of all time! one of my dreams is go to one of their shows

[caseypons]

Great behind the scenes video, thank for sharing

Pauli...

[Kohntarkosz]

Does anyone have the original video for this song? I thought that was a great video, but I haven't seen it in years.

[frunze1969]

The only one that was here about a year ago was taken down by youtube :-(

[JohnyMcJ]

juanluis62.......I like this song it has a smooth and cool sound to relax to, the first time I heard it I liked it, get down los lobos keep it up you guys make beautiful music, viva la rasa and viva East L.A.

[astyanax36]

[jnf1222]

Lees20022- how big are your Lobotomy scars?

[2ubtrue]

Any1 know the name of the sitting guitarist, I've seen these guys over the years and never paid much attn. but this is my kinda jam session, so I have concluded they are top of the line. want to see'em live now.

[StaubfingerD]

@2ubtrue

The sittin git. is David Hidalgo. he also plays at "Latin Playboys".

[lovecam11]

Saw these guys at the House of Blues on Oct 16, 2009—simply awesome. I whished they wouldve played this song (its my favorite), but night was spectacular none the less. I kick my self for not seeing them before.

[babyladybaxter]

These dudes are fuck'n dope!!! Where do they get their trippines?

[stevehenry68]

The greatest band in the world. Chicano soul for the ages!

[masterjon3]

@stevehenry68 well i wouldn't say that lol

[Kurrobilly]

[ZeDollyDots]

maybe this kind of music is too difficult for you

[belairbooklover]

Does anyone remember when Los Lobos went on Sesame Street and sang Elmo and the Lavender Moon? It was in the early 90's, and one of the coolest guests on SS!

[beadbitch01]

Los Lobos are so talented!! I've seen them several times and would love to see them several more times!!

[keefek]

What a great song, and what a great group!

Love this.

[chungafrescor]

Me encanta. Rebosa misterio. Alguien puede poner la letra traducida?

[marjolijnsvideos]

[nakamichiguy]

Ooooh. Stunning. Simply stunning. ¡Viva Los Lobos!

[2bonzandapick]

[lumpytwangage]

@2bonzandapick John got me back into Lobos with this album.

[jonaselalquimista]

Enormes Musicos...

[KAMMOCK]

This song reminds me of driving through New Mexico in the evening with the windows open.

[Starrsflower]

[david19rp]

es lo mejor de lo mejor consevando su cultura y haciendola grande!!!! saludos a los lobos una de las mejores bandas del mundo y America desde costa rica

[McKuarro]

Una variacion de cumbia lenta, sensual, para bailarla a la luz de la luna en playas desiertas, bajo palmeras mecidas por la brisa.....y en los pies arena de mar.....

[Roggendollar]

¡Qué hermosas imágenes! Hace nunca jamás escucho esta canción y no veo la imagen que usted ha pintado.

[Phuuer]

Such a mellow, great song.

[keefek]

Splendid song from a fabulous album (Kiko). Los Lobos -- one of the great bands of our time.

[microskomp]

ultra-awesome.

[paaltely]

oozing out of blues and soul from their inner depths. Versatile and super talented. Los Lobos a musicians musician.......UNRIVALED only by a few.

[cawamax]

forget those 100 mph guitar solos, this is from the soul

[bettyboobunny]

Los Lobos is the BEST band in America!!!!!!!!!

Their talent has no bounds. Long live the wolves!

[beadbitch01]

This band is my far the best band that ever played music!!! The talent is totally out of this world!!! Every song is different and unique, I love this band!!

[abbeyroadpaul]

brilliant song. loaded in smoke. I can even smell the song.

[Urdraxa]

One of the best rainy day songs ever written, and performed here by masters of the electric guitar.
